Pixel 8 Pro or Pixel 8: Don’t Make a Mistake!

Is it better to get the Pixel 8 or the Pixel 8 Pro? Google just gave us the answer in a roundabout way but also made us question if buying expensive Google phones is a good idea.
It seems the cheap Pixels may be the way to go for those that don't insist on trying the latest AI experimental tech.

I really hope Google offers the same Pro features on the regular Pixel 9 this fall.

Your shortcut to the next video is smack dab over the text when listed the differences between 7 and 8. Did the person who edited the video actually watch it?

[eazy]

You guys should make a video blind camera testing s21 ultra up to s24 ultra when it releases. Would be an interesting watch🙏

Does either of those pixel phones have an App Lock feature? On the Xiaomi phone, any access to an app with App Lock enabled would require another authentication (via a password or biometric data). This feature is very useful to prevent access to sensitive apps such as banking apps, smart home apps (garage, HVAC, ...), and home security app

Pixel 8 is actually quite a bit better than the 7, aside from the smaller screen size. Hear you overall though on the value.

Why did you mention that sharing the 'boosted' videos is challenging on the Pixel 8 Pro? Is there an option available to share these videos without reducing the resolution? I'm looking to copy the boosted video to my laptop in 4K resolution

I could buy the pro but decided to go non pro. Dont need zoom camera and these special pro features. love the size of the non pro.

[Babun]

is the current $700 P8Pro in Best buy a worthy deal? Or the issues are so bad that I should simply give this a miss

[gandonly]

The 8 pro feels very small in hand for some reason, it’s taller than the iPhone 15 pro max but thinner and lighter and curved. It’s not as big as you think, they it in store if you can

[kunalsharma]

It's not 5 years of software update on p7 it's 3 yrs and 5 yrs of security updates.

[wallacemiller]

Worthless softaware on pixel ? Its straight up android the way it should be not some jacked up launcher Samsung has developed!! OneUI is and will always be messy period!!

[aurathedraak]

Yet they bring out useless crap that no one asked for?

[JimJones-tg]

I got the 8 and it is deceptively smaller feeling than you would expect - I believe it's a combination of thinner width, light weight and the rounded corners. It's absolutely unbelievable for a compact phone! BUT it makes me feel like I should have gone for the Pro as it feels smaller than I expected!!

[newfnshow]

I wish Google made the base flagship larger. I'm not trying to pay all that money for a tiny screen.

[JazevoAudiosurf]

good vid, concise, unlike other channels

[talesfromthehoodtv]

I bought my 8 pro last week and I'm very satisfied, so far i haven't had any problems

[bongapd]

Pixel 8 has 2000 nits brightness not 1600 nits and the 8 Pro has 2400 nits. Just a little error. Great video, thanks ❤

Google puts super fancy dandy AI processors in there.
You still have to send the videos to Google in order to enhance them.
Logic.
